SANKYOKU INTENSIVE FOR SHAKUHACHI PLAYERS
David Wheeler (shakuhachi) and Yoko Hiraoka (strings and voice) are going to
offer the first long weekend intensive this coming Autumn, for a small group
of shakuhachi players to encounter and work in depth on various classical
ensemble pieces with koto, shamisen and voice. This will take place over a
long weekend: Friday and Saturday all day, and Sunday half day.
The idea is to give players the essential grounding in structure, technique
and ornamentation in shakuhachi classical sankyoku pieces, to enable
continued and effective practice at home. It's a total immersion weekend!
Students (probably no more than six or so) will arrive Thursday evening and
stay in local hotels in Louisville, (near Boulder) Colorado (30 minutes from
Denver international airport) and be picked up and taken to Yoko's house for
teaching sessions each day. This workshop is probably best suited to
intermediate players who have had teaching of one kind or another, but not
necessarily in sankyoku music.
Sessions will be 9am-4pm with lunch provided, and breaks for tea and hand
stretching. There is a Japanese tea house in the garden and Yoko will
introduce Japanese tea ceremony to the students during their stay.
David Wheeler will send out scores, CDs etc. to students a few weeks ahead
of time.
